Moscow reduced to ashes 

READER’S VIEWS - Erich Wannemacher - The Freeman

“What is happening at present in Moscow - believe me - will worsen every week. These blazes will continue until Moscow will be reduced to ashes. And that will surely be soon. It will explode, it will burn in your cities. We will not spare you as long as you do not spare us.” Oleksiy Danilov, National Secretary of the security and defence council of Ukraine in his radio message to the Russians.

Vladimir Bombarderovic Putler’s (pun intended) armies are destroying power stations, urban heating centrals, schools, hospitals and apartment blocks in order to make Ukrainian civil population suffer from darkness and dying from cold. It is an lopsided fight because the Americans do not allow the Ukrainians to attack targets in Russia with western weapons fearing escalation. Ukrainians respect the Geneva Convention that forbids killing civilians in war. But putting the fire on military bomber planes, arms depots, oil and gas pipelines, tanker ships, electrical power stations, arms factories, parking buildings, mobilization bureaus is legal.

A map of the Russian Federation shows 28 blazes from first day of invasion to the day of the ‘partly mobilization’ on September 21 and 38 after that date. These are only the attacks on government facilities. All in all 80 blazes are registered and counting more each day.

Of course the Ukrainians decline responsibility. Also the Legion Liberty for Russia, a Russian resistance group, remains mum in the underground. The blazes remain a mystery. Russian medias scarcely report. If ever they find shameful subterfuges: a short cicuit, a cigarette but, a flat-iron, a candle.

Very few videos can be found in the social media. The authorities take them off as soon as they appear in the World Wide Web, in order to avoid the spreading of the embarrassing news. No assessment of damages or casualties, no explanation, no investigation! The topic is completely black-outed.

However French TV LCI shows several videos: That big service station of 1000 square meters at 5 kilometers north of the Kremlin, that enorme cloud of black smoke that is visible all over the city, hundreds of cars burning on the parking, people running about, the helicopter discharging water on the flames.

The same day a huge commercial center of 60,000 square  meters near the city-center burned from early morning to late evening before fire-fighters put out the flames.

Four days earlier the Russian foreign ministry in the very heart of Moscow stood in full blaze. We see in the video the evacuation of employees. This time the media was obliged to report: A foul hypothesis was given: A short-circuit in an electric distributor cabinet.

Four blazes in four days, one wonders why apparently it is so easy for arsonists. One reason is that the security guards were the first to be deemed dispensable. They are in Ukraine. The other reason is that Russian buildings were built in the soviet era when security features were not yet known in the building code.

The Russians respect a tacid social agreement with President Putin: We don’t care about politics as long as you enable us to live a halfway decent life. Many do even not know about Putin’s war.

With their partisan attacks the Ukrainians try to sensitize the Russians’ conscience: Open your eyes, you are at war against your brother people. We are doing to you what your soldiers are doing to us for eleven months now. Recognize that your president is the war criminal number one. He ruined our country and he is ruining Russia as well. React eventually, who does not say no to this war, agrees with Putin’s disastrous decisions.

But strangely the Russians are so brainwashed that even the mothers of fallen soldiers challenge Putin to conscript more soldiers with the intent to extinguish the Ukrainian nation. Main propagandist Vladimir Soloviev in all earnest postulates on TV to nuke the entire France and the United Kingdom.

He also once suggested to nuke Yellowstone National Park in order to cause the supervolcano to explode. An eruption of the huge caldera would project so much ash into the atmosphere that worldwide darkness for years would bring about the extinction of mankind including Mr. Soloviev.
